Game Play
Movement
When you move your paddle it continues to move in the direction you last moved it until it bounces off a well.
Your squirrel bounces off your paddle and the bricks at an angle depending on where it hits them.
You can move your paddle before shooting the squirrel into play if there is a specific part of the level you would like to fire from.
Levels
This game has 20 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
Levels do not have a time limit, but you get a single “ball” or squirrel for each stage (unless you unlock the cherry power up).
Each level is beat when all the bricks on it are destroyed.
Most bricks take multiple hits each to defeat.
Bricks with a crack in them only have 1 hit remaining.
When breaking bricks that are low on the playing field try to keep the ball vertical as you can so you do not have to make sharp lateral movements.
